analog: (adj.) Also spelled analogue, describes a device or system that represents changing values as continuously variable physical quantities.
A typical analog device is a clock in which the hands move continuosusly around the face.
Such a clock is capable of indicating every possible time of day.
In contrast, a digital clock is capable of representing only a finite number of times (every tenth of a second, for example).
In general, humans experience the world analogically.
Vision, for example, is an analog experence because we perceive infinitely smooth gradations of shapes and colors.
